Ok so here’s my beef.
The whole book, since the beginning, I knew Marco was in on it. There was no doubt about that. That fact itself threw me off because I was like “why would it be so obvious that he was involved and why just plainly say it halfway through the book?” Then we learn what we learn about Richard and it got me.
The whole story itself is very entrapping and the ending, chef’s kiss. Cynthia deserved that.
My only wish is that we had a little more from the detective’s POV at how he ACTUALLY got to his conclusions.

The storytelling throughout was well done and the twists and turns along the plot kept me guessing, though I felt a bit of the authors scramble to wrap up some plot points that she raised along the way.
Overall a solid thriller that was worth the read.
